THE MAIN LEXICAL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ENGLISH VARIETIES (BRITISH, AMERICAN, CANADIAN)
Keywords:
British English, American English, Canadian English, lexical variation, semantic divergence, corpus analysis, pragmatic markedness.Abstract
This thesis examines major lexical differences across British, American, and Canadian English, focusing on semantic variation, pragmatic distribution, and sociolinguistic conditioning. The study applies contrastive analysis supported by corpus-oriented observation and thematic lexical grouping. Its novelty lies in a coherent account of Canadian English as an “intermediate” lexical model and in identifying stable markers relevant for teaching and translation.
